The 212NYC Events, 212, News, Fashion, Music, Photos and Things To Do In New York City2015-10-14T13:17:40Zhttp://the212.com/feed/atom/WordPressBooksy Collinshttp://the212.com/?p=375392015-10-14T13:17:40Z2015-10-14T13:17:40ZI think my ears are still ringing. No seriously, that was some gnarly bass but it felt just right. They say ‘One thing ’bout music, when it hits you feel no pain’ and it’s safe to say Flux Pavilion and crew brought out all the tools necessary to turn Webster Hall into a trampoline park. The scene really started to turn up around midnight with the former Krewella producer and now independent Rain Man. Kids were straight-up moshing, throwing bows left and right. Once Rain Main asked the crowd if they were ready for Flux, it started to flurry with cold and raw dub-step remixes of recent rap songs. It was lit. First impressions of the Tesla Tour already had me impressed at the sight of an electric guitar positioned right behind the custom DJ booth. The lighting crew began to test out the unique set up for Webster and wow, this really was a Grade-A intricate and complex production. Now for the sonic rhythms, let’s just say he appeased the masses. From the classic chart-toppers to the cross-genre debut LP, Flux did an incredible job reading the crowd and feeding off their energy. I was still jacked up for this live guitar riff to pop off and the Pavilion certainly delivered. While I was certainly happy I brought my earbuds, it’s always refreshing to hear a set that strays away from the negative stigmas EDM receives. Flux stayed true to his dub roots but kept us all on our heels with massive unreleased edits and bootlegs. Rather than mixing in overplayed vocals, he kept it fresh and interesting. Would a normal kid who knew nothing about Flux Pavilion and dub-step enjoyed the show? Probably not. That’s why it was amazing. Miss the show last week? Not to worry, the rising star Jauz (pronounced Jaws, like the shark) will be tearing down the roof with his cross-genre future house and trap set. Grab your tickets here.

Most widely known for playing in the dubstep genre, Flux is living up to his name on this album. The collection of 13 sonic rhythms are in continuous change. Going from his well-known heavy bass to tech-house, downtempo, a feature from rapper RiffRaff and EDM vocalist Matthew Koma, Flux Pavilion has repaved his image as a one-trick pony. As the industry continues to evolve and sub-genres get thrown around left and right, it’s refreshing to hear the change of pace that Flux has put into the world as his debut LP. With opening support from Rain Man (filling in for Wilkinson), Diskord and resident DJs Alex English, Dali, Hiyawatha, grab your ticket before they sell out. This show will certainly make you reconsider not using earbuds, when the cracks begin to show…

Pronounced (Me-Ha), short for my daughter in Spanish, Amber Giles has become a rising star since exploding on the scene after an impromptu B2B Sunrise set with Skrillex at Bonnaroo last year. Take a listen to the cross-genre session below: First breaking through into the music industry as a promoter in Arizona, MIJA honed her production skills while developing and balancing relationships with some of the game’s top talent like the OWSLA king Sonny Moore. The212 was blessed to have her added onto Tchami’s bill at Webster Hall when we covered that show back in late January. With a Burning Man appearance, Diplo & Friends mix and a OWSLA release with Ghastly & Lil’ Jon now under her belt, MIJA is poised to pave the future house path into the abyss. Actually, forget the sub-genres, Amber may be the most versatile artist we’ve seen in the last few years – similar to newcomer Jauz. A little birdie also told The212 that there is a strong possibility of multiple surprise/special guests ready to join MIJA in the main room at Webster. The doors open at 10PM with resident DJs Alex English, DALI and Hiyawatha leading the charge. Buy your tickets here and show up early because the Hall will certainly be packed out by midnight. Hungry for more MIJA? Take a listen to this epic Hard Summer mix she did prior to throwing down last month:

The British-Canadian producer teams up with multi-talented female DJ/Singer/Songwriter/Producer Bishøp for their newest single on Ultra Music “Hey Hey,” proving BYNON’s talents extend far beyond the realm of progressive house music. A subtle track by nature, “Hey Hey” flourishes in its minimalism, holding space open to allow reverb to flow between its seams. Bishøp’s raspy vocals get the song moving while an upbeat and straightforward melodic house chime sets the tone. As a carefree and zesty chorus pops off like rosé on a hot summer day, BYNON’s expert layering of sounds adds texture as he incorporates the most tasteful of sounds – like a soft drum kick, piano riffs and organic percussion. Having collaborated with Project 46 on “Eyes,” Taryn Manning from Orange Is The New Black for “All The Way,” and most recently with Dannic for “Golden Hearts” on Revealed which jumped to the top 10 spending more than 8 weeks on the charts, BYNON continues to break through the paradigms of dance music. Growing up in a house full of musicians, BYNON was inevitably bound to follow the same path as his family. After studying music theory and performance for most of his life, he decided to swap out the clarinet for a pair of decks, thus, jumpstarting his dance music career. Since mastering the art of mixing, BYNON has established himself as one of the leading producers/DJs in today’s dance music market. With a plethora of new releases set to take place in the near future, it is undeniable that BYNON is changing the way we personify dance music as a whole. Bishøp’s track record stands equally impressive. The Portland up-start’s most recent single includes “Loving Every Minute” with Latroit (Kontor/Armada) which debuted at #5 on the UK Buzz Chart, was supported by Cool Cuts, The Magician, and notable DJs Paul Oakenfold and Pete Tong on his BBC Radio 1 show. Remixes by Ghastly and Franky Rizzardo were received with critical acclaim. With nothing to lose and everything to prove, be on the lookout as Bishøp has great collaborations on the way with Tiesto, Dr. Fresch, Filous, Elephante, plus many more. “Hey Hey” is available today, June 16th, from Ultra Records. Get it now: iTunes | Beatport

There were dozens of events happening all throughout the community and crowds of people just walking the blocks all weekend walking in and out of parties and exhibits. We passed by the Sugarlift Rooftop Party, that featured art from Rubin, London Kaye, James Bullough and Sonni, a barbecue, live music and drinks. Here are the photos from the party. Let us know what parties and shows you attended!

Here are the photos from the opening! “Raw Pop” at Castle Fitzjohns, 98 Orchard St. in the L.E.S. “Raw Pop” is an exploration of four very different interpretations of referencing and incorporating popular culture within visual art. In today’s art world many works of “Pop” art are labelled as Neo Pop, Post Pop etc, basically anything with bright colors that’s a visual derivative of Warhol, Lichtenstein, Indiana. “Raw Pop” features the work of four artists who strip back the Pop genre to its roots and incorporate popular culture within their art from a strong conceptual position, but with four very clever, very different interpretations. Show closes May 13th 2015. To read more about the show click here. Photos by Andrew “Drew” Thomas for Brooklyn Eastern Standard

Though Warner Bros. has declined to comment yet, this would be a monumental TV moment as the show has been dead for 10 years already. Some of the cast did reunite for a Dannon Oikos commercial spot which ran during the 2014 Super Bowl (below) however we’ll continue to provide updates as they’re released. I hope this turns out better than the Boy Meets World reboot…
